Hey guy I was trying to install the radio/cd player unit for my R33

I was up to step 4. Remove the factory unit, but can't unscrew the 2 screws at the bottom of the unit

does anyone have similar difficulties and have suggestions as to what other tools I can use?

Thanks

Line up the screw driver and screw, get a hammer and give the back of the screw driver a few light taps to loosen.

Try loosening with a breaker bar but be careful not to stuff the corners of the screw..

If all else fails, drill it.

& if all that fails, try Dr Who's Sonic Screwdriver

I know that doesn't help you any right now but along with flying cars (http://www.moller.com/skyc.htm), affordable public space travel (http://www.virgingalactic.com) & personal submarines (http://www.uboatworx.com) we'll probably see it all in our lifetimes.

In the meantime, just drill it........... :)

Yep I'm bored with too much time on my hands

not for much longer :w00t:

hammer and screwdriver trick works on those. worst ones are on the radio itself.

Hey guys I finally got the screw and installed the new player, it's working fine and all

but now I'm facing a bigger problem, my car won't start (and it's not because it's out of battery)

ok so I put the keys into the slot and try to start it, but it keeps making clicking sounds

and when I switch it back to the start position there's this humming/chattering noise in the engine bay

I tried to put the factory unit back in but it still gives me the same problem

can anyone help me, I dun wanna catch the bus tomorrow.

Thanks in advanced

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
